The acting, even though the actors have little to do, is awful. There is no intentional comedy here that works. It's also loaded with attempts at comedy that are universally both juvenile and clichéd. They range from the weathered, drunken old man called out of retirement to go back to the job he hates but knows how to perform (Tommy) to the comic relief of the idiotic young sidekick (Will) to the unfeeling, perverted saloon owner (Jake). The characters, one and all, are one-dimensional stock characters. There is not a surprise to be had and while the film runs at just over 90 minutes, that little set up is already stretched beyond the breaking point long before the end. Without giving any spoilers, a retired old bounty hunter-turned-rancher comes out of retirement to save his ranch with a quick, one-time job and ends up in over his head. There is little redeeming about this film.
